lpv:translated text	"Mr President, workers’ professional ambitions are a very individual affair, and they depend more on personality and individual character traits than gender. This is why differences between modern women and men in this respect are disappearing. Women are making ever bolder moves towards prestigious, well-paid positions in companies, and we should therefore take note of and respond to the problems they have to face. As well as lower pay in comparison to men for the same work, they often find that they are deliberately blocked from promotions to the highest managerial positions. In line with the European Commission’s objectives, we want to change this situation by supporting various initiatives aimed at drawing the attention of companies’ management boards to the problem of the low rate of participation of women in management. The measures set out in the report adopted today, which include the promotion of social responsibility, the development of individual capabilities and training for management positions, will help women who wish to hold such positions and make full use of their skills to the benefit of the companies in which they work. The aim of today’s report is to show that we are aware of the problem, and to show that making it harder for women to access managerial positions has a negative impact not only in terms of women’s self-esteem as workers, but also in terms of reducing companies’ revenue and putting companies in a worse economic position. In my opinion, we must above all change cultural attitudes and the traditional view of women which dominates the HR structures of large companies. If such a change takes place, women with the appropriate qualifications and individual predispositions will be employed in managerial positions as a natural consequence. Finally, I would like to congratulate Mrs Kratsa-Tsagaropoulou on the outcome of her report."@en1
